Firehose worked pretty good to keep them off the roof of the barracks barge, and helped get it a little cooler.
Norfolk only has three seasons; Spring and Fall only last about a week apeice (so they are one), and then there is too d*mned hot, and too d*mned cold.

Here is some pictures of my first Springer. The superstructure is inspired by a ferry the family use to get out to my family-in-laws summer house. My two daughters (2 and 4 years) are helping me with painting and some design issues, and they are now pushing me on making windows, crane, lifeboats and the other stuff that's missing.

The lakes in the area are still frozen, so we took the first trials at the sea. This was done on Saturday and everything worked fine until the batteries went out a little to early. It is still snow on the beach, but i had no choice but take of my clothes and go for a swim. The air temperature was around 0 (Celsius) and water temp around 7. Pretty cold, but the crowd on the beach had great fun.

During the Easter holidays we are going to the summer house, and the Springer is coming to so it can meet the original ferry. Hopefully we get some good pictures of them together.

Pale Horse Now that's dedication to do a retreive in that kind of weather. Your Springer is looking pretty good, but the girls are right in that the details are always missing something. You are never done with a boat, just get to the point of "It's good enough for me!".

The TBW Special Springer Development Division (SSDD) is please to announce its latest creation..
After many hours of work, here is the new Springer from the TBW, the Stealth Springer...
I think you can probably see where this one is heading..
